YouTube Videos On Your TV Made Easier
YouTube are making it a lot easier for users to be able to watch YouTube videos on their television with just the click of a button.
Video sharing site YouTube have been working on the idea of watching videos from their site on your television screens with just one click since 2010 and today have taken the next step.
With an update to the YouTube app for Android and Google TVs, these two devices will automatically be synced on the same WiFi making the videos appear on your television screen.
Just find a YouTube video on your app for Android, click on the TV icon, and instantly the video will begin to play on your Google TV.
Using your tablet or mobile phone as a remote, you can then pause, skip, and scroll while the video plays on your TV. Because the devices are connected in the cloud, you can do other things whist your video is playing as well such as search for the next video or browse the web.
Although this will only be available on Android apps and Google televisions at first, YouTube are asking for people to stay tuned to see this feature coming to more devices and screens in the future.
